+ short term loans to others + inter corporate deposits + working capital loans)
Turnover Ratios :
Fixed Assets

the higher the number the better. It also indicates pricing strategy: companies with low profit
margins tend to have high asset turnover, while those with high profit margins have low asset
turnover.

(Sales / total inventory)

multiple can be used for direct cross-companies application.
Market Cap/Sales

possession of the asset used as collateral and may sell it to regain some or all of the amount
originally lent to the borrower,
Convertible Debentures

although the unsecured creditors will usually realize a smaller proportion of their claims than the
secured creditors.

receivable has been recognized, but not yet paid or received. Accrued interest occurs as a result
